Nollywood filmmaker and actor, Ernest Obi has thrown his support behind veteran actor Chiwetalu Agu. 

This comes after he was arrested by Nigerian soldiers for wearing an outfit made with the Biafran flag. 

The veteran actor was arrested at Upper Iweka in Onitsha, Anambra state yesterday October 7, with the Nigerian Army later releasing a statement, where it was confirmed that he was picked up for allegedly soliciting support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.  

Reacting on Instagram, Ernest declared his support for his senior colleague, while insisting that the veteran actor as the ‘right to stand for what he believes in.’ 

He wrote: 

High Chief CHIWETALU AGU. I stand with You And Your Right To Have A Right To Stand For What You Believe In.
